Realization (UML Standard profile)
A Realization is a Dependency of type Abstraction.
Create Realizations through a Package Diagram - click the Realization button, click the start item, and then click the end item. If an existing Realization relationship exists (Dependency), a popup menu appears - you can then click New or select an existing Realization relationship to add.
On a Package Diagram, a Realization relationship's notation is as follows.
The following sections provide information about how a Realization relationship is used in the model. For more information about a UML Standard profile diagram or item - click it.
Owned by
A Realization is owned jointly by the two items it links.
Package
View (only if SysML Profile present)
Viewpoint (only if SysML Profile present)
Owns
Allocate (only if SysML Profile present) - the Allocate is owned jointly by the Realization and the associated item. The access permissions you have to an Allocate are determined by the access permissions you have to the item that is allocated from - you require write access to both items to create or delete an Allocate.
Constraint (UML item)
Problem (only if SysML Profile present)
Rationale (only if SysML Profile present)
Refine - the Refine relationship is owned jointly by the Realization and the associated item. The access permissions you have to a Refine relationship are determined by the access permissions you have to the refined item.
Satisfy (only if SysML Profile present) - the Satisfy relationship is owned jointly by the Realization and the associated Requirement. The access permissions you have to a Satisfy relationship are determined by the access permissions you have to the Realization.
Trace - the Trace relationship is owned jointly by the Realization and the associated item. The access permissions you have to a Trace relationship are determined by the access permissions you have to the item that is traced from.
Verify (only if SysML Profile present) - the Verify relationship is owned jointly by the Realization and the associated Requirement. The access permissions you have to a Verify relationship are determined by the access permissions you have to the Realization.
